28 February 1946

Dear Mom

I got this far after 13 hours on the road although I stopped overnight in Harrisburg. But the roads out of Pittsburgh are many and small, so after I'd gotten 20 or so miles out of town and here standing on one shot for an hour. I quit and turned around. I'll continue to Indianapolis by rail. Possible next week I'll make it to Chicago.

When does Dad expect to go east again? I'll probably be in N.Y. if he gets there in March. When I get back I'll call up Moe and find out.

I decided not to go to California too much trouble since I'll be out in a month. But I'll be glad to see you there.

All my love.

Linus

P.S. Both this weekend and next weekend that is until the 9^th of March ( and probably the 10^th have to celebrate) I'll be in occasional touch with Reba II's address, which is Box 97, West Memorial Hall, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana.

While I'm thinking of it it's a rotten deal that I have to be floating around the country on my 21^st birthday.

Pittsburgh is absolutely filthy. I'd hate to live here.

Love,

Linus
